| dc.description.abstract | The study analysed a range of cost-optimal energy system pathways for South Africa for the period 2020-2050, with CO2 emission reductions greater than that achieved by the current 2019 Integrated Resource plan (IRP). Thus, the speed of reducing power sector CO2 emissions in the power sector was explored from a systems perspective to assess the effects on the energy mix and associated technologies, resulting CO2 emissions, other emissions (PM, SOx, NOx) and total system costs for a range of increasingly ambitious CO2 scenarios. The analysis showed that with increasing CO2 ambition, system costs increase but not as much as initially expected – clearing a path for power sector decarbonization with minimal tradeoffs and substantial power sector benefits. | en_US |
